It certainly take patience teaching first time anglers how to fly fish, there are technical aspects of the sport and the comments I get back are "there is a lot to think about to master fly-fishing" One thing I have really admired is those living in NZ wanting to explore there own back yard and take up the opportunity to learn fly fishing. The reward is not only the fish but all the aspects from approaching the water, seeing the fish and a good presentation cast. My job is not to stuff up the netting, land the fish and see the smile on my clients face! Attached are a few smiles from both guided clients and friendly trips with friends. A few recognizable faces.
